Dover Montessori Country Day Academy (DMCDA)

Founded over forty years ago by Mrs. Rosemary Simpson, the Dover Montessori Country Day School (DMCDS) now Dover Montessori Country Day Academy (DMCDA) is an A.M.I. accredited institute and has had the distinct privilege of serving thousands of Dover and Kent County families over the years.

Following in her mother's footsteps and having a passion for teaching, her daughter, Margaret "Peg" A. Kling bought the business from her, continuing the family business. The school is licensed for daycare and employs the Association Montessori Internationale method of instruction.

By being here you have chosen to make the most important financial investment in your child's life- and here in southern Delaware you have chosen the best. This investment is better than stocks, real estate or gold and will pay dividends for years to come. Its value will become incalculable to the success and happiness of your child and their future. It is an education that meets the intellectual, physical, and emotional needs of your child.

The benefits your child receives at Dover Montessori Country Day Academy will give him/her a tremendous foundation. Our preschool program builds on each of the life benefits of a Montessori education and while the curriculum is the same the material becomes more advance as the child gets older. Our students ages 2-6 are not mixed in, but rather separated on age group and as they master key areas are enrolled in the next most senior program.

Our promise is that over a continued 3-year sustained enrollment your child will be able to read, write and do simple mathematics, and prepared for elementary. More importantly, your child will understand the "why" behind his/her learning.

"A Montessori education is not just cumulative in its learning, it is exponential in its understanding-the child's mind and character will be trained to look at problems and see challenges instead of obstacles. With that kind of attitude and training, there is nothing your child will not be able to achieve." -Edward Fidellow, Montessori teacher
